Background

  • La Fontaine Academy was started by a group of parents who were

looking to create an excellent school that championed language learning as a path for child development, academic excellence and community

  • This is why parents, and the PTA, are very much involved in the

running of the school

  • This has allowed the school to be much more than a school in less

than 3 years. It is now a strong community – a ‘village’ as Dr C puts it

What is the PTA

La Fontaine Academy’s Parent Teacher Association, or PTA is a registered charity (159492) run entirely by volunteers.

  • Work with parents and school to identify fundraising priorities
  • Raise money to support all students attending LFA
  • Run a variety of cultural and community events throughout the

school year that bring parents together, promote good communication between parents and staff and enhance the wellbeing our children

Class Reps

Why we need them

  • To cascade key information across

all classes in the school

  • To help recruit support for

fundraising, social and volunteer events run by the PTA

  • To feedback great ideas from the

parent community to the PTA & school
